We instructed a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Benllech last week. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I seeI am on the hook for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based solicitor practice promising no move no charge conveyancing in Benllech?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the cases that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these deals rarely protect you from expenses for instance Benllech conveyancing search fees.
My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Benllech and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
The lawyer is legally required to clarify with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I purchased a freehold property in Benllech but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Benllech and has limited impact for conveyancing in Benllech but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
Will our conveyancer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Benllech.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Benllech. There are those who acquire a house in Benllech, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Benllech. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the vendor to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading response. The buyer’s solicitors will also commission an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Benllech before appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a loan on such a home.
